Refuse Collection & Recycling Information

Refuse pick-up is handled by individual arrangement with local scavenger companies. A commercially manufactured container which has a close-fitting cover must be used. Refuse that is too large or heavy for the container may be placed alongside the container in such a manner that it cannot be scattered.

Yard waste such as leaves, lawn clippings, etc. must be placed in approved containers or craft paper bags. The containers shall not be placed for refuse pickup more than 24 hours before such pickup and shall be removed within 24 hours after such pickup. Such containers, when not out for pickup, shall be stored concealed from view from the street.

Illinois eWaste Ban
Illinois law prohibits the disposal of electronic waste (eWaste) in landfills and transfer stations. We will no longer be able to collect your eWaste at curbside in a garbage tote or can, or in a recycling bag or bin. Therefore, when you have electronic waste (eWaste) to dispose of, please visit the Illinois EPA website for a list of registered eWaste collection companies along with a list of drop off locations.

Please refrain from putting these items out with your curbside trash or recycling.
